Abstract
Current understanding of the risk factors related to adolescent initiation of sexual activity, use of contraception, pregnancy, and STDs is examined. From recent research on adolescent fertility, findings that have particular relevance to school health or reflect new understandings of adolescent sexuality are summarized. In selected cases, prevention programs that build directly on an understanding of these risk factors are cited.Keywords: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome; Adolescent Pregnancy; Adolescents; Age Factors; Americas; Behavior; Biology; Contraception; Contraceptive Usage; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Diseases; Family Planning; Fertility; Fertility Determinants; Hiv Infections; Infections; North America; Northern America; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Premarital Sex Behavior; Reproductive Behavior; Reproductive Tract Infections; Risk Factors; Sex Behavior; Sexually Transmitted Diseases; United States; Viral Diseases; Youth
